Many disgusted delegates left the convention and went to the bridge tournament in the same hotel in Boston. I was one of them.
What's my point? At its beginning, the youth conservative movement was anti war and mostly isolationist. Rand Paul could bring us back.
I think isolationists have been given a bad rap. They were right to protest FDR before WW2 as he was actively doing all he could to get us in the war against Germany. Had Hitler not been reckless, he would not have declared war on us after Pearl Harbor. But since he did, history seems to have been written as if being against war was somehow foolish. It would be nice to view foreign events as “foreign.” Why should America be using her blood and treasure to stop one group of people killing another group of people when our security is not at risk? In the end the answers to that questions are weak....and if you cite morality as a reason that is lol sick and twisted. Morality from a country that aborts babies and has policies that foster the destruction of the traditional family needs to tend to problems at home. Let God (or Allah) sort out the rest of the world’s problems.
Wow. They couldn’t have been more obvious sellouts if they’d tried. What a discouraging thing to have happen, especially if you’re young and patriotic.
